Three British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, bringing the number of UK troops killed there to 100 since 2001, the Ministry of Defence said.
The men, from 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, were on foot patrol near their Helmand Province base when they were killed in a suicide attack.
Another man was injured in the blast. Their next of kin have been informed.
Defence Secretary Des Browne said his thoughts were with the loved ones of the 100 "courageous" personnel.
